Savage, Wacko, Nazi Hate-Mongerers Not Welcome

by

Abby Zimet

The usually mild-mannered British have banned from their green and pleasant land right-wing U.S. radio host Michael Savage and 21 others "who want to spread extremism, hatred and violent messages." Savage has made it clear he hates immigrants, Muslims, autistic children and anyone else who isn't a white guy. Others on the list include a former Ku Klux Klan Grand Wizard, the head of a neo-Nazi group, and a Kansas "Reverend" whose church slogan is "God Hates Fags."

"Coming to the UK is a privilege..." said Home Secretary Jacqui Smith,
"I do not hesitate to name and shame those who foster
extremist views as I want them to know they are not welcome here."

God bless the Finns: They've been there for us after the Idiot-In-Chief visited a ravaged California and babbled how we have to "take care of the floors" and be like Finland where "they spent a lot of time on raking and cleaning and doing things." Cue pics of dutiful Finns taking to the forest with their rakes and vacuums. Trump also said he still doesn't believe in climate change but "I want great climate." We do too, but first we want a president who's not barking mad.

Common Dreams brings you the news that matters.
